Description

Reagent and method for flotation separation of at least one mineral in galena and sphalerite from molybdenite
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of mineral flotation, and particularly relates to a flotation separation method without a collecting agent in a molybdenum-lead-zinc system.
Background
Molybdenum is a rare strategic mineral resource and is widely applied to manufacturing high-performance stainless steel, high-temperature and corrosion resistant metal alloy for missile and airplane as an alloy element. The molybdenum metal is mainly derived from molybdenite (molybdenum disulfide MoS) 2 (ii) a A sulfide mineral). With the continuous exploitation of high-grade molybdenite ores, low-grade complex sulfide ores containing galena, sphalerite and other sulfide ores become main mineral resources for extracting and utilizing molybdenum metal. Flotation is the most common method for separating complex minerals, and is one of the great inventions of the 20 th century, and by means of flotation, people can utilize mineral resources on a large scale. Flotation agents (surfactants) are the core of the flotation process and mainly comprise collectors, depressants, activators, dispersants, foaming agents and the like. Of these, collectors and depressants are the two most commonly used classes of agents that alter the wettability of mineral surfaces. Because molybdenite and galena have certain natural hydrophobicity, and have better natural floatability without adding a collecting agent, the effective separation of molybdenite and galena is very challenging to realize by developing a selective collecting agent, and therefore, the development of a selective inhibitor becomes a main research direction for the flotation separation of complex sulfide ores containing molybdenum-lead or molybdenum-zinc or molybdenum-lead-zinc. The common inhibitor of the existing floatation system containing molybdenite is sodium sulfide, although the separation effect is obvious, the inhibitor can emit toxic and inflammable hydrogen sulfide gas under the acidic condition, and the molybdenum ore and the hydrogen sulfide are separated from the waterThe surrounding environment and personnel pose potential hazards. Therefore, the development of a novel inhibitor which is efficient, highly selective and greener is of great significance for the efficient utilization of molybdenum resources.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a flotation separation method for molybdenite and at least one mineral of galena and sphalerite, and aims to realize selective separation of the molybdenite and the galena and/or the galena.
The second purpose of the invention is to provide a flotation reagent for at least one mineral of molybdenite, galena and sphalerite.
Molybdenite and galena are often associated and have good natural floatability, sphalerite is generally in close symbiosis with the galena, and selective separation of the molybdenite and the galena is one of the problems in the field. However, the existing flotation separation method for molybdenum-lead or molybdenum-zinc or molybdenum-lead-zinc complex sulfide ore cannot give consideration to selectivity, cost and environmental protection, and therefore the invention provides the following technical scheme:
a method for separating at least one mineral in galena and sphalerite from molybdenite by flotation comprises the steps of carrying out flotation on a mineral to be selected containing the molybdenite, the galena and/or the sphalerite in a flotation reagent containing an inhibitor shown in a formula A, controlling the pH value of the flotation to be less than or equal to 10, and obtaining molybdenum concentrate;

In the invention, the combined control of the structure of the formula A and the substituent is one of keys for synergistically improving the flotation inhibition selectivity of galena and sphalerite, and the combined control of the formula A and pH is further beneficial to further synergistically improving the inhibition selectivity of the galena and the sphalerite and further improving the selective flotation separation effect of molybdenite and (galena and/or sphalerite).
In the invention, X is O or S. The research finds that the X is a heteroatom of O or S, the inhibition selectivity of galena and sphalerite can be unexpectedly improved, the pH value can be combined to bring better synergy, and the separation selectivity of molybdenite and galena-sphalerite can be shown to be better.

It is found that the method is preferableUnder the substituent, the molecular cooperativity of the formula 1 is further improved, and the separation selectivity of molybdenite and (galena-sphalerite) is further improved.

In the invention, the pH value of the flotation stage refers to the pH value of the ore pulp in the flotation stage.
Preferably, the pH in the flotation stage is 9 or less, and in view of separation selectivity and industrial applicability of the process, the pH is preferably 4 to 9, and more preferably 5.5 to 8.5.

In the invention, the flotation reagent can contain or not contain the collector, and the flotation reagent system of the invention preferably does not contain the collector in consideration of sorting selectivity and treatment cost. In the invention, thanks to the excellent natural floatability of molybdenite (only a foaming agent is added, the recovery rate is still higher than 85%), the heterocyclic selective galena inhibitor of the formula A is coordinated for use, and further pH regulation is matched, so that the separation behavior of minerals can be regulated and controlled in high sensitivity and high selectivity without a collecting agent.

The method can realize high-efficiency separation of a molybdenum-lead or molybdenum-zinc or molybdenum-lead-zinc complex sulfide ore flotation system, and directionally improve the grade and recovery rate of molybdenite concentrate products.

Detailed Description
The effect of the invention is illustrated by taking the single mineral of molybdenite, galena and sphalerite and the binary and ternary mixed sulfide ore (molybdenum-lead mixed sulfide ore; molybdenum-zinc mixed sulfide ore; molybdenum-lead-zinc mixed sulfide ore) of the three as an example. The following cases, except where specifically stated, the composition of the minerals employed are shown in table 1:

Figure BDA0003731882260000051
And (3) annotation: the weight ratio of the binary or ternary mixed mineral is 1:1:1. for example, a Mo — Pb mixed sulfide ore sample is obtained by mixing molybdenite and galena at a mass ratio of 1.
Example 1
In order to verify the separation effect of the inhibitor in the case on molybdenite, galena and sphalerite single minerals, the inhibitor in the case is used for separating molybdenite, galena or sphalerite pure minerals (the grades are shown in table 1), the flow shown in fig. 1 is adopted, the inhibitor in the case is used for inhibiting different sulfide ores, only a foaming agent is added for a flotation separation process, the parameters of the flotation process in each group of cases are the same, the type of the foaming agent is terpineol, and the concentration of the foaming agent is 1 × 10 -6 mol/L, only different in the kinds of the flotation sulfide ores, thereby comparing the flotation and separation effects of the depressants in the case.
The flotation reagent of the invention: the inhibitor is:
Figure BDA0003731882260000052
(formula 1; amount shown in Table 2), the foaming agent is terpineol (concentration 1X 10) -6 mol/L)。
The process shown in FIG. 1 is adopted, and the specific operations are as follows: dry grinding pure mineral ore (particle diameter of 3-0.5 mm) for 15min (particle diameter of 0.0740-0 after grinding).0374mm, dry-grinding by adopting a horizontal ball mill, wherein the grinding concentration is 35-40%), weighing 2g of ground single mineral samples (molybdenite, galena or sphalerite) in each group, pouring into a 40mL flotation tank, adding 35mL of deionized water, adding the flotation reagent, supplementing a proper amount of deionized water, stirring for 3min, and adding terpineol (the concentration in ore pulp is controlled to be 1 × 10) -6 mol/L), stirring for 3min, beginning to scrape bubbles, scraping the bubbles for 3min, scraping the concentrate to a concentrate basin along with foams, leaving tailings in a flotation tank, filtering and drying the concentrate and the tailings, then respectively weighing, calculating the recovery rate, carrying out three parallel groups of experiments in each group, taking an average value and calculating errors (variances), wherein the errors are represented as error bars in the graph.
Fig. 2 and table 2 show the recovery of molybdenite, galena and sphalerite pure minerals for example 1 at different chemical dosages. (in the case, the depressor is used as the depressor, the terpineol is used as the foaming agent, other flotation reagents are not added, and the pH value of ore pulp is 7).
As can be seen from the results of fig. 2 and table 2, in the range of the dosage of the tested chemicals, as the dosage of the inhibitor of the present invention increases, the inhibition ability of the flotation reagent of the present example on galena is significantly enhanced, and no significant inhibition effect is provided for the flotation of molybdenite, which means that the flotation inhibitor of the present example can selectively inhibit galena with high efficiency under the condition of neutral pH, and thus, the high-efficiency flotation separation of three minerals, i.e., molybdenite, galena and sphalerite, can be realized.

Example 2
Flotation experiments are carried out under different solution pH values, and the influence of the pulp pH value on the flotation separation of molybdenite, galena and sphalerite by the inhibitor is researched.
The flotation reagent of the invention: the inhibitor is:
Figure BDA0003731882260000071
(formula 1; in an amount of 5X 10) -4 mol/L) and the foaming agent is terpineol (the concentration is 1 multiplied by 10) -6 mol/L)。
High purity molybdenite, galena and sphalerite pure minerals (grades as in table 1) were used. By adopting the flow shown in FIG. 1, the flotation process parameters are the same, and the difference is only that different types of sulfide ore single minerals and different pulp pH values are adopted, so that the flotation inhibition effect of the inhibitor on molybdenite, galena and sphalerite single minerals is compared under different pH values.
The process shown in FIG. 1 is adopted, and the specific operations are as follows: dry-grinding pure mineral ore (with particle size of 3-0.5 mm) for 15min (with particle size of 0.0740-0.0374mm after grinding), and dry-grinding with horizontal ball mill to obtain medium filling rate of 30-40%. Each group weighs 2g of ground single mineral sample, pours the single mineral sample into a 40mL flotation tank, adds 35mL deionized water and then adds flotation reagents, wherein the use amount of collecting agents in the ore pulp is 2.5 multiplied by 10 -4 Adding appropriate amount of deionized water at mol/L, stirring for 3min, adding pH regulator (sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide) to adjust the flotation system to specific pH, stirring for 3min, adding terpineol (concentration of 1 × 10) -6 mol/L) and stirring for 3min, starting foam scraping, wherein foam scraping is carried out for 3min, the concentrate is scraped to a concentrate basin along with foam, tailings are remained in a flotation tank, the concentrate and the tailings are respectively weighed after being filtered and dried, and the recovery rate is calculated.
The pH gradient set for the experiment was: 2,4,6,7,8, 10, 12.
Figure 3 shows the recovery of molybdenite, galena and sphalerite pure minerals of example 2 at different pH. (in this case, the concentration of the inhibitor is 5X 10) -4 mol/or according L; the pH regulator is sodium hydroxide solution and sulfuric acid solution; the foaming agent is terpineol with concentration of 1 × 10 -6 mol/L)。
Table 3 flotation results of example 2
Figure BDA0003731882260000072
It can be seen from example 2 that when the pH is less than or equal to 10, the selective inhibition effect of the inhibitor of this example on galena is very excellent, in this pH range, after the inhibitor of this example inhibits, the recovery rates of galena and sphalerite are both less than or equal to 31%, while the inhibitor of this example has no significant inhibition effect on the recovery rate of molybdenite, the recovery rate of molybdenite is both greater than or equal to 95% in the pH range less than or equal to 10, and in the pH range less than or equal to 10, the flotation recovery rate difference between molybdenite and galena and sphalerite is always in the 64% -92% range.
The results prove that the inhibitor, the flotation reagent and the separation method have excellent effects, and can realize efficient and high-selectivity separation of molybdenite, galena and sphalerite. Under a wider ore pulp pH (the pH is less than or equal to 10), the selective inhibitor, the flotation reagent or the collector-free flotation separation method can realize the high-efficiency separation of the molybdenum-lead-zinc sulfide ore. When the pH value of the flotation pulp is less than or equal to 10, high-grade molybdenite concentrate can be obtained, and directional high-efficiency inhibition of galena can be realized. In consideration of the subsequent treatment of the beneficiation wastewater, the preferable pulp pH condition is pH =6 to 8, and further preferably pH =7.

In order to verify the separation effect of the flotation reagent in the case of the mixed sulfide ore of molybdenite, galena and sphalerite, we adopted high-purity molybdenite, galena and sphalerite pure minerals (grades are as in table 1), and the ratio of 1:1 or 1:1:1 proportion to obtain molybdenum-lead mixed sulfide ore, molybdenum-zinc mixed sulfide ore and molybdenum-lead-zinc mixed sulfide ore, and adopting the flow shown in figure 1. The concentration of the inhibitor in the case is 5 multiplied by 10 -4 mol/L and pH 7.
The flotation reagent of the invention: the inhibitor is:

(formula 1; amount 5X 10) -4 mol/L) and the foaming agent is terpineol (the concentration is 1 multiplied by 10) -6 mol/L), flotation pulp pH =7.
The specific operation is as follows: dry-grinding pure mineral ore (particle size of 3-0.5 mm) for 15min (particle size of 0.0740-0.0374mm after grinding, dry-grinding with horizontal ball mill, and medium filling rate of 30-40%), weighing 2g mixed mineral samples in each group, pouring into 40mL flotation tank, addingAdding 35mL of deionized water, adding the inhibitor of the invention, and supplementing a proper amount of deionized water, wherein the concentration of the inhibitor is 5 multiplied by 10 -4 mol/L, wherein the pH value of ore pulp is 4/10; stirring for 3min, adding terpineol (concentration of 1 × 10) -6 mol/L), stirring for 3min, starting to scrape bubbles, scraping the bubbles for 3min, scraping the concentrate to a concentrate basin along with foams, leaving tailings in a flotation tank, filtering and drying the concentrate and the tailings, then weighing the concentrate and the tailings respectively, detecting the grade of the concentrate and calculating the recovery rate.
The specific mixing ratio of the molybdenum-lead mixed sulfide ore, the molybdenum-zinc mixed sulfide ore and the molybdenum-lead-zinc mixed sulfide ore in the case of the series of the molybdenum-lead mixed sulfide ores is as follows:
this case of molybdenum-lead mixed sulphide ore: 1g of molybdenite and 1g of galena, and stirring for 5min at room temperature to fully and uniformly mix the minerals for use;
this case of molybdenum-zinc mixed sulphide ore: 1g of molybdenite and 1g of sphalerite are stirred for 5min at room temperature, so that the minerals are fully and uniformly mixed for use;

Under the condition that the pH =7, the inhibitor and the flotation reagent of the invention have low recovery rate (2.8 percent) and low grade (2.8 percent) to galena of molybdenum-lead mixed sulfide ore3.0 wt.%) is much stronger than the inhibitory effect on molybdenite (recovery higher than 75%, grade higher than 56 wt.%). According to flotation results, the flotation reagent provided by the invention remarkably improves the flotation separation effect of molybdenite and galena, and the grade of useful mineral molybdenite is remarkably improved and reaches 56.2wt.% when the pH =7. Under the condition that the pH =7, the separation effect of the inhibitor and the flotation reagent on the molybdenum-zinc mixed sulfide ore is also excellent, the recovery rate of the sphalerite is as low as 0.9%, the grade is as low as 0.6 wt%, the recovery rate of the molybdenite is higher than 91%, and the grade is as high as 57.8 wt%.

The specific operation is as follows: dry grinding pure mineral ore (particle size of 3mm-0.5 mm) for 15min (particle size of 0.0740-0.0374mm after grinding, dry grinding by adopting a horizontal ball mill, and medium filling rate of 30-40%), weighing 2g of mixed ore samples which are ground well and uniformly mixed according to a proportion in each group, pouring the 2g of mixed ore samples into a 40mL flotation tank, adding 35mL of deionized water, adding the flotation reagent, supplementing a proper amount of deionized water, and adding the inhibitor with concentration of 5 multiplied by 10 for all -4 mol/L, pH of ore pulp is 7; stirring for 3min, adding terpineol (concentration of 1 × 10) -6 mol/L), stirring for 3min, starting foam scraping, performing foam scraping for 3min, scraping the concentrate to a concentrate basin along with foam, leaving tailings in a flotation tank, filtering and drying the concentrate and the tailings, then weighing the concentrate and the tailings respectively, detecting the grade of the concentrate and calculating the recovery rate.
This case of molybdenum-lead mixed sulphide ore: 1g of molybdenite and 1g of galena, and stirring for 5min at room temperature to fully and uniformly mix the minerals for use;
the grades of the components of the molybdenum-lead mixed sulphide ore in this case are shown in table 1.
TABLE 5 flotation results of example 4 (pulp pH 7)
Figure BDA0003731882260000111
TABLE 5 flotation concentrate of molybdenum-lead bulk sulfide ore of example 4The recovery rate of each sulphide ore and the grade of the corresponding metal. (in this case, the concentration of each inhibitor was 5X 10 4 mol/L, pH 7). As can be seen from Table 5, when the collector concentration was 5X 10 -4 When the mol/L and the pH =7, the inhibitor and the inhibitor structure of the formula A contained in the flotation reagent of the invention are within the limit conditions of the invention (the inhibitors a-d), and a better index is obtained in the separation of molybdenum-lead mixed sulfide ore. When the heterocyclic compound structure is out of the range of the present invention (inhibitor e: R) 1 、R 2 And R 3 Total number of carbons is 8, wherein R 2 Is a long straight chain alkane substituent, and the index (molybdenite recovery rate or Mo grade) of the molybdenite concentrate obtained by separating molybdenum-lead mixed sulfide ore is obviously reduced.
As can be seen from the test results, R 1 、R 2 And R 3 The less the total carbon, the better the index of molybdenite concentrate product obtained by separating molybdenum-lead mixed sulfide ore, R 1 、R 2 And R 3 The sorting effect is best when H or no substituent is present. The comprehensive results show that the inhibitor and the flotation reagent have very obvious effect on the selective inhibition of galena, and the indexes of molybdenite concentrate products can be further improved by regulating and controlling substituent groups in the inhibitor compound.
As can be seen from experimental groups 5 and 6, when R is equal to pH =7 in the pulp 1 、R 2 And R 3 When at least one of the substituent groups is a branched chain, a branched chain and an aromatic ring substituent group with the total carbon number exceeding 6, the inhibition effect of the heterocyclic compound is greatly reduced, and the heterocyclic compound is converted from an inhibitor to a collecting agent. The recovery of galena in experimental groups 5 and 6 rose sharply to 62.0% and 68.9, respectively, when the pulp pH =7, indirectly resulting in a reduction in the molybdenite grade in the flotation concentrate to 34.9wt.% and 32.8wt.%, respectively.
As can be seen from the experimental group 7, compared with the traditional macromolecular organic inhibitor chitosan of the sulfide ore, the inhibitor of the invention has more excellent inhibition selectivity, can selectively inhibit galena in a molybdenum-lead (-zinc) mixed sulfide ore separation system, and has no obvious influence on the recovery rate of molybdenite. The traditional macromolecular inhibitor has poor inhibition selectivity, can inhibit various sulfide ores simultaneously, and causes the recovery rate and the grade of molybdenite in a flotation concentrate product to be reduced simultaneously.
